U.S. Midterm Elections

Midterm Elections in the U.S. are basically a combination of Senate, House and Governorship Elections, taking place halfway – every two years – between the country’s Presidential Election that holds every four years.

During the Midterm Elections, the electorate would chose 435 persons for the House of Representatives, while one-third of the Senate is up for election as the Senators serve a staggered six-year length terms.

A party needs fifty-one seats to control the Senate, which has a total of 100 seats; and 218 are needed to control the 435-member House.
